The Video: A Monarch butterfly emerges from the confines of its cocoon... the video captures its move through the last stages of metamorphosis from earthbound caterpillar to delicate creature of flight.

I shot this video footage early one morning, quickly setting up upon realizing the cocoon was 'ready' and the birth was about to commence. I shot still photos while the video captured the beauty as it unfolded (see the other photos in this collection). What a gift it was to experience!
